Patti Smith and Soundwalk Collective Show Multimedia Work at Luma Arles
In Arles, the Luma Foundation's Grande Halle now hosts 'Correspondences', a multimedia collaboration between Patti Smith and the Soundwalk Collective. The exhibition features landscape films and a ten-meter-long collage within a 5,000-square-meter hall. This marks Smith's debut as a visual artist in a major institutional setting. The venue, once home to the Rencontres de la Photographie festival, has been transformed by Luma's significant investment, as evidenced by its wooden roof structure. The show is part of Luma's ongoing program, which has established the foundation as a key player in the contemporary art scene in Arles.
